@IEA Batteries are a game-changer: Today, utility-scale batteries paired with solar PV are already competitive with new coal plants in some countries like India In just the next few years, batteries + solar will be cheaper than new natural gas plants in the US & new coal in China

The FTC’s non compete ban is great news for American workers
Non-competes are like price-fixing - rarely a good thing and appropriately subject to a flat ban.
The @FTC rule banning non-competes is expected to result in: - $400B in wage increases - $196B in reduced healthcare costs - 29,000 new patents per year - 8,500 new business starts per year Republican Commissioners voted against it. The Chamber of Commerce is suing to block it.

One of the most important, and least understood, facts about unions is that unions spread prosperity beyond their membership. To see how dramatic an effect this has, let’s compare work and life in “right to work” states to work and life in states without these anti-union laws.🧵

A great explanation of why labor unions are critical to an equitable American economy.
With a series of tax cuts over the last few years that benefited mostly the wealthy and corporations, Idaho's tax system has become less fair and more regressive. That is, working families are now paying a bigger share of state revenue than the wealthy and corporations.

Noncompetes in health care can trap doctors and nurses in bad workplaces that compromise patient care and deprive patients of their trusted doctors if they have to leave the area for a new job. @FTC’s ban would save $74-$194 billion in reduced healthcare spending.
"Doctors are trapped in places where they may or may not feel good about the care that they are able to provide." Senior Fellow @ewwilkins in @axios today on how the @FTC's final ban on noncompete agreements will empower healthcare workers👇 axios.com/2024/04/24/ftc…
The core problem with the way most people talk about social media is that they think it is, in fact, social media, instead of understanding that it is widely adopted defective and dangerous product design. Think cars without brakes instead of a newspaper juiced with tech.
"Backed by massive popular support, abundant evidence, and clear legal authority, the @FTC has abolished a modern form of involuntary servitude that binds workers to their jobs and prevents them from leaving for greener pastures." - @sandeepvaheesan
In final rule, FTC bans non-compete clauses for *all* workers!
@IEA Batteries are a game-changer: Today, utility-scale batteries paired with solar PV are already competitive with new coal plants in some countries like India In just the next few years, batteries + solar will be cheaper than new natural gas plants in the US & new coal in China
The @FTC rule banning non-competes is expected to result in: - $400B in wage increases - $196B in reduced healthcare costs - 29,000 new patents per year - 8,500 new business starts per year Republican Commissioners voted against it. The Chamber of Commerce is suing to block it.
It was the honor of a lifetime to be a part of the effort to free workers from noncompetes. This is government working for people.
BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.

We are thrilled to welcome @ewwilkins to the team! Elizabeth’s work at the FTC has been critical in the fight against corporate power from noncompetes to junk fees to merger guidelines. Look forward to working together at @econliberties’ on the next set of challenges.

It is now my greatest pleasure to flip a finger at everyone who has tried so insanely hard and failed to kill the U.S. defense aid bill and help Russia crush and exterminate Ukraine -- from corrupt politicians to useful idiots, as well as the one overtly selling out her own…

VW workers in Chattanooga are celebrating their union win. Some workers have lost union elections before. Now, they’re in the @UAW.
One of the most important, and least understood, facts about unions is that unions spread prosperity beyond their membership. To see how dramatic an effect this has, let’s compare work and life in “right to work” states to work and life in states without these anti-union laws.🧵
What is clear in these charts, but often missed in discourse around unions, is that all of us have a stake in the resurgence of the labor movement – because all of us are better off when working people are able to exercise collective power through unions.
